EoZ definition of antisemitism being taught in the Ivy League




My algorithmic, short and useful definition of antisemitism has been discussed in an academic conference and in a scholarly book.

This definition has been included in the syllabus of the course "Antisemitism: A History" being taught at Brown University as part of their Judaic Studies curriculum. Here's the course description:

Antisemitism: A History
Antisemitism is sometimes called the "longest hatred," and from Pittsburgh to Paris it is on the rise. This course will examine the history of antisemitism and antisemitic tropes; theoretical approaches to its persistence; and individual case studies. Topics will include: Christian and Muslim anti-Judaism; racism; economic stereotypes; and modern manifestations in the U.S. and Europe.

The course is being taught by Michael L Satlow, Dorot Professor of Judaic Studies and Religious Studies. The syllabus says:


All I can ask for is that my definition is debated and compared to the others. I think mine has great advantages - brief, accurate, precise, and the easiest one (by far) to be used to answer the question of whether some event or statement is antisemitic or not. If people find shortcomings in my definition, I'd love to hear them. 

 I don't know Michael Satlow, but I thank the professor for including my definition in his course.. I hope other universities and academic papers do the same.
